Common Super Bowl Prop Bets

There might be only one game to bet on at the end of the football season, but by no means is there a shortage of potential plays for the Super Bowl. On top of the spread, game total or simply backing your team on the moneyline, there’s a litany of props available.

Player Props are the most common among the options you’ll find. These can range from game-long options like yardage props and touchdowns scored to very specific plays — the total yardage on a player’s longest rush, the total yardage on a player’s first reception or even which player will score the game’s first touchdown. Of course, bettors can also back who they believe will be named Super Bowl MVP.

But for those looking to broaden things, Team Props and Game Props are options. Instead of betting on the game total, bettors can simply back one team to go over or under their individual total for the Super Bowl. But, there are still ways to get in on even more specific outcomes, including some options bettors won’t see throughout the regular season — whether or not the opening kickoff will be a touchback, will any team successfully recover an onside kick and will there be a flea-flicker attempted being among the potential plays.

The Super Bowl Props don’t end there, though. Have a strong feeling about the Gatorade color that’ll be dumped on the winning coach’s head? There’s a prop for that. Do you believe “tails never fails” — or perhaps the opposite? There’s a prop bet for the opening coin toss. And be on the lookout for cross-sport bets, too!
